Can i tell you a story?

Most of my blogs for the past several months have been political in nature. Sometimes i just don't want to keep droning on about it all...like today, i came home from work, we had pizza for dinner, and i basically turned off the TV at 7 and have been listening to music from the 60's and 70's.  i thought at the time those were awful times, with the war in vietnam going on and on, never ending, and a government that just seemed stuck thinking like it was the 40's or something.

Parents and grandparents used to chide me and my brothers about being lazy ingrates, which me trying to be liked by my peers got me in hot water with dad, who thought I wanted to be a "hippie whore"...funny, I almost started to believe that's what was expected of me.

One of my first cars (in college) was a Borg-Ward Isabella, made in Germany. I remember painting flowers on the dash, and her name, Isabel. I used to sing along to the radio and ask if it was liking the music- dopey I know. She was a nice little car. I think they called it a squareback, but to me it was a mini station wagon, and fun.

Once at the beach with a friend, we slept in back and looked through the open end door (not really a tailgate) at the stars, and tuned in a radio station in SF. I only mention this because tonight for some reason the name Bread popped into my head, and so i dug around and found a song i remembered by them, which i added to my play-list (posted on my Multiply main page)...and that started this whole dialog in my head about the summers of 30 plus years ago...

Hey, when you have kids that are 40, its time to admit you aren't young anymore according to the calendar...but mom always said stay young at heart, and you'll never grow old...I believe that..

Vet asks: Are we becoming the United Socialist States Republic (USSR)

While my honey and  I were watching the morning news, we both started to ask the same question: Are we becoming the United Socialist States Republic (USSR)? I know that is a provocative thing to say, but step back from recent events and see what has happened:
  1. Government relationship to banks moves from mere oversight to financial interest and partial ownership (Central Govt Control of Finance)
  2. Government assumes a lead role in managing one of the largest industries remaining in the country, the auto industry, assumes control of the largest car maker in world (until Jan 2009) (Central Govt Control of Industry)
  3. Government attempt to nationalize health care, "for the people" (Control of Health care)
  4. Government proposes to nationalize energy sector, under guise of environmental friendly legislation known as Cap and Trade (Central Govt Control of Energy)
  5. Executive branch replaces balance in governance by appointment of "czars" to oversee various sectors of American life, outside the oversight of the peoples representatives, Congress (Central Govt Control)
  6. Government seeks to disarm (in violation of Bill of Rights) public under  Health reform, by deeming some citizens medically unfit to own firearms, with no clear definition of what that criteria is
  7. Government leaders brand dissenting opinions as "Un-American", a clear violation of Bill of Rights
Whats next? As you should readily discern, these actions mirror the basic tenets and structure of the former Soviet Union...or   the early 20th century evolution of National Socialism in Germany, which led to World War II.  Is it fear mongering to note these facts or merely cautious observation?
I wonder...although its clear i am not alone in these thoughts.


Comment from David:"I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy."Semper Fi, David

You're Racist - Code for Destroying America

Racism: noun
  • Date: 1933

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

 Racist- adjective
Adherent to tenets of racism.

OK, so that's what the words mean..really. Nothing about being white, conservative, fiscally sound, intellectual, a gun owner, a Republican or Democrat, male or female, or anything like that. Simply, a racist is someone who feels their race is superior to others, and discriminates against persons not of their race...
Race by the way is not really a scientifically sound concept anyway, since blending of "race" can lead to people who don't look like the "race" they  may self identify with.

Now here is the definitions according to the Urban dictionary, a free forum of modern language and its meaning:
 "rascist_ what all white people are

P.s I am black and the only reason I didnt rip on whites here is because I couldnt choose my favorite disparaging term for them.(there are sooo many) "

I have worked with, been friends with, currently am friends with, currently work with, many people of all types, making up the entire complexity of peoples ancestry, be it culture, race, age, sex, whatever...
I judge people by how they treat me, as i am sure they judge me by how i treat them. That does not make me a racist. That make me a human.
I don't like everyone i deal with, and I am positive they don't all like me either...again, part of being  a human.

Back in 2003, I attened a rally at the State Capitol supporting the candidacy of Arnold Schwarznegger for governor...mostly to see the man, and hear him speak on what his run was about...a young man nearby as we left confronted my honey, me and my friend Carol that had gone with us, "If you vote for Arnold your a f__king racist"...before honey could speak (according to him) I spun around and yelled, "F---K You ". giving him the finger as i did so...following which my honey hustled me the hell outta there...

Since then I have have bristled at the wanton over misuse of the term racist to define people simply because of differing opinions...and the patently absurd notion that a particular people of a race can not be racist regardless of what garbage they are spouting.

Case in point- A long time back when living across the country,   I had a co-worker/friend who happened to be black. She was a very personable, intelligent young woman. We had a discussion about racism one day. To my astonishment, my otherwise sensible friend informed me: "black people can't be racists, it is just not possible." After I picked myself up off the ground, I asked her if she was serious. She went on to explain that she was quite serious "because blacks don't have any real power in this country--so they cannot really be racists. Only white people can be racists." That was a conversation which has stayed with me for 25 years. While it was rather comical, it spoke to the feeling that many black people have and which creates a justification for their racist ways.

To put this all in context with where we as a society are I can not improve on what former Democratic Colorado Governor Richard Lamm said in either 2004 or2005, and which is making the rounds again on the internet, probably because of his uncanny accuracy. The plan to destroy America :
former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm, stood up and gave a speech on ‘How to Destroy America’.  The audience sat spellbound by the eight methods for destruction of the United States.

 

Lamm said, “If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let’s destroy America.  It is not that hard to do.  No nation in history has survived the ravages of time.  Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that, “An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.”

 

“Here is how they destroyed their countries,” Lamm said. “First, turn America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country.  History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures.  It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual.  The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy.  Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon—all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons and Corsicans.”

 

Lamm continued on how to destroy America, “Invent ‘multiculturalism’ and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences!  I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.”

 

Any fool can see that Los Angeles, California or Miami, Florida are no longer American cities.  Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and many other cities are not far behind.   Immigrants arrive at over four million per year, so fast and so many, that they are not assimilating into the American Dream.  However, they are creating the American Nightmare for Americans.  You would be insulted if you spoke English and you’re not welcome in immigrant enclaves of those cities. 

 

“We could make the United States an ‘Hispanic Quebec’ without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity.  As Benjamin Schwarz said in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY recently: “The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multi-cultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony.  Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.”

 

Two weeks ago, Muslim students at San Francisco State University charged a student- run Republican voting table.  They knocked it over and threatened to blow up the place.  One Muslim woman vowed to become a bomber martyr.  They did not respect our Republican form of government where each of us is afforded our rights to free speech. Ironically, these are American Muslim student citizens.  Apparently, they didn't’t realize that this is America.  No wonder their counterparts in the Middle East only know how to cock a gun or blow themselves up!

 

Lamm added, “I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor.  It is important to ensure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.”

 

“Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, un assimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population.  I would have this second underclass have a 50 percent dropout rate from high school.”

 

Last year, in Denver, Colorado, 67 percent of the potential graduating class either flunked out or dropped out.    This crisis manifests itself again this year in Denver where Tina Griego, an advocate for illegal immigration and employed by the Rocky Mountain News reported November 15, 2004, “North High School teachers estimate only half the student body of 1,400 regularly attend classes.” 

 

That school system suffers thousands of illegal alien kids who can’t speak English and arrive from functionally illiterate parents.  They can’t perform academically because their parents have no interest or background in viable educational processes.  Those kids think a remote control takes the place of homework.  A similar crisis happens from California to Georgia and from Chicago to Miami.

 

However, democracy requires four disciplines to flourish while remaining viable.  It requires an educated population that possesses a similar moral and ethical foundation while speaking the same language.  The United States, via massive immigration, is losing all four aspects.  It cannot and will not remain viable much longer with the disruption of its educational systems.  Conflicting languages bring a whole new can of worms to the crisis.

 

“My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of ‘Victimology’. I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of the majority.  I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population.”

 

While a few elites in high places make billions of dollars, they corrupt America’s rule of law and undermine the Middle Class.  If you’ll notice—Third World countries DO NOT sustain a Middle Class.  They suffer a high class and a low class.  America moves in that direction every day of this immigrant invasion.

 

“My sixth plan for America’s downfall would include dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity.  I would stress differences rather than similarities.  Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other—that is, when they are not killing each other.  A diverse, peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent.  People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together.  Look at the ancient Greeks:  “The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods.  All Greece took part in the Olympic games.  A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet, all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors…local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions.  Greece fell.  In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the ‘pluribus’ instead of the ‘unum, we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.”

 

“Before we got here, Miami was nothing,” yelled a militant Cuban.

 

Today in Miami, you will be insulted if you are an American.  Point blank reality: Miami is no longer an American city. Neither is Los Angeles.  Every city in America is under assault.  Corruption reigns supreme along with growing Third World Momentum.  Mexico’s Vicente Fox dictates his wishes in our country by spreading the fraudulent Matricular Consular ID card while promoting 46 Mexican consulates in major cities.

 

Lamm continued, “Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits—make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of ‘diversity’. I would find a word similar to ‘heretic’ in the 16th century—that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking.  Words like ‘racist’ or ‘xenophobe’ halt discussion and debate.”

 

At every juncture today, anti-American groups like La Raza, MALDEF, LULAC, and MECHA, which are pro illegal alien Mexican groups on U.S. soil--scream ‘racism’ if anyone protests illegal migration.  You have to wonder what will happen when they gain majority populations?  Will they allow us to use the word ‘racism’ as they promote their agenda of ‘Reconquista of Aztlan’ while they break our country into pieces?  At 9.2 million Mexicans now transplanted onto U.S. soil, they are well on their way.

 

“Having made America a bilingual--bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of ‘Victimology’,” Lamm said. “I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra:  “That because immigration has been good for America, it must ALWAYS be good.  I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."

 

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow.  A profound silence swept over the room.  Finally, he said, “Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hansen’s book “MEXIFORNIA.”  His book is dangerous.  It exposes the plan to destroy America.  If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don’t read that book.”

 

A chilling apprehension rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference.  Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today.  Every discussion is being suppressed.  Over 100 languages rip the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness.  Barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation, terror, horse tripping, cock fighting, dog fighting and worse--grow as we celebrate ‘diversity’.   American jobs vanish into the Third World as greedy corporations create a Third World in America—take note of California and other states—to date, 20 million illegal aliens and growing, fast.

That could never happen here...

As children, my brothers and i would gather with the neighborhood kids, and following moms advice to "just go outside and play" we would. Typically the boys would like to play either cowboys and indians or army.  This play was usually inspired by a movie or TV show, and i usually ended up in the role of nurse, or school teacher, or some other dreary role to play out, while the boys got to be commandos. Eventually I convinced them I could be a partisan fighter, since some films depicted women in that role.

As we aged, the play stopped, but the fascination with the horrific wars of the 20th century continued, up to the current day. Events that changed the world were displayed in films and TV shows, with the bad guys always evil, USA and allies heroic. 

Despotic single party regimes came to power, and were eventually destroyed by the mighty allies, illustrating once and for all that democracy was better in every way. Never in a million years could that kind of sinister government arise in America. I remember reading a book several years ago about what if the US had not fought, but accepted German claims in WWII, and eventually settled for a a Nazis world, where even the president was a nazi, global socialism, one world governance, utopia...I threw the book in the nearby thrift store donation box half read, scoffing at the ideas put forward.

I never read the books of Ann Rand, but I did read George Orwell, and again thought it provocative literature that could never apply here, the home of the greatest democratic republic in the world.

Even when the Republican party dominated government in this country, there was a ying and yang, a civil discourse between Democrats and Republicans, as Barry Goldwater once quipped, "To disagree, one doesn't have to be disagreeable.”

Yet here we are, face to face with a government dominated by a single party, exercising its power not for the people, but in spite of the people. Our elected officials are acting as though we the people is a slogan, with no basis in our traditions, our culture, indeed the very foundation of our country and its Constitution. 

I remember learning in school that our republic, our democracy is protected by citizen soldiers. As stated in a history text :

"  In the early years after independence, the concepts of the citizen‐soldier and the standing army also became identified with the larger struggle for political power between the states and the central government. Federalist politicians, ... pressed for the establishment of a strong, standing army under the direct command of the central government. However, Anti‐Federalists claimed that such an army could be used by a national government to oppress the citizenry and argued for the continued maintenance of state‐raised and state‐commanded militias of citizen‐soldiers; their concern was that in a nation as large as the United States, the central government could become dislocated from its citizens and enforce its authority only by use of its army.

A compromise emerged in which the Constitution allows Congress “to raise and support armies” as necessary, but the Second Amendment also allows states to maintain militias."

Yet now our fellow citizens that have served their nation are under watch by their own government? Have we now fulfilled that dire fear our founders had?

Has our government become dislocated from the people?  (I would say SO)

And where is the Fourth Estate, those who wrap themselves in the First Amendment . This freedom was granted to the press, the media, so that the press would be able to inform the people, as to whether or not our government is operating in the interests of common the people.

The press has a duty to examine and investigate government officials and agencies, and to report whether they are acting in the interests of the people. The press is obligated to expose wrong doing or any actions carried out by our government, that are not in the interest of the people of the United States. The press by holding true to their constitutional obligation performs an invaluable service to the nation. The media, however, has lost sight of its purpose. It seems that they have become a part of the government, the propaganda branch, but are acting under a pretense of independence.

Its all pretty disgusting.  Like I said, i never thought this could happen here...

Obama seeks to track visits to .gov websites


Planned lifting of ban on 'cookies' called '1984'-style spying effort

WASHINGTON – The Barack Obama administration has announced plans to lift a government ban on tracking visitors to government websites, and potentially, collect their personal data through the use of "cookies" – an effort some suspect may already be in place on White House sites.

A ban on such tracking by the federal government on Internet

users has been in place since 2000, however, the White House Office of Management and Budget now wants to lift the ban citing a "compelling need."

In fact, according to the Electronic Privacy and Information Center, federal agencies have already negotiated agreements and contracts with social networking sites like Google, YouTube, SlideShare,Facebook

, AddThis, Blist, Flickr and VIMEO to collect information on visitors for federal web sites. All of these private companies are known to have agreements with federal agencies, but the public has never seen them.

In public comments submitted to the Office of Management and Budget, EPIC notes it has obtained documents that show federal agencies have negotiated these contracts with the private sector in violation of "existing statutory privacy rights." Those agencies include: Department of Defense, Department of the Treasury, and the National Security Agency.

A two-week public comment period ended Monday on a proposal by the White House Office of Management and Budget to end a ban on federal Internet sites using such technologies and replace it with other privacy safeguards. The current prohibition, in place since 2000, can be waived if an agency head cites a "compelling need."

Supporters of a change say social networking and similar services, which often take advantage of the tracking technologies, have transformed how people communicate over the Internet, and Obama's aides say those services can make government more transparent and increase public involvement.

Some privacy groups say the proposal amounts to a "massive" and unexplained shift in government policy.

In a statement Monday, American Civil Liberties Union spokesman Michael Macleod-Ball said the move could "allow the mass collection of personal information of every user of a federal government website."

My question is why? Why does a alleged proponent to open and transparent government want to lift a ban on covert spying on citizens? To improve government services?

Letting the whole world know how you feel...its therapy?

From SoloMother:

See, i knew it was a good thing to do..Apparently, we do ourselves a world of good when we write about the things that are bugging us. Writing is good therapy. I stumbled across an old article on CNN, about writing for therapy. Dr. Pennebaker’s studies have proven that writing is good for what ails you. Or to quote Shrek, ‘Better out than in, I always say’:

Pennebaker’s interest in the potential of writing therapy was sparked by conversations with government polygraph operators. A criminal’s heart rate and breathing, he learned, is much slower immediately after a confession than before. Since then, he’s spent much of his career proving that we can all feel better after confronting the past through writing.One of his studies, published in the “Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology” in April 1988, found that college students had more active T-lymphocyte cells, an indication of immune system stimulation, six weeks after writing about stressful events. Other studies have found that people tend to take fewer trips to the doctor, function better in day-to-day tasks, and score higher on tests of psychological well being after such writing exercises, he says.

I knew it.

Spilling your guts in a blog has always made me feel better about things, even when it made other maybe uncomfortable. I have written about pretty much my whole life in this blog, which has migrated from one place to another...all several hundred entries.

I wrote about going to Germany out of college, meeting someone, coming back to the US, finding the love of my life cheating on me, thinking i would never recover and then meeting honey.

I have written about things in my job, etc...which is pretty boring most of the time. What I have not written about are my online friends...not the ones here, or Yahoo or Imeem, or Google, or AOL or even way back on Prodigy.  Especially not the ones who have hurt my feelings, because really, friends don't do that. Not to say I have not screwed up every once and awhile, and really made someone go off...I have. But really, whats the point of getting all worked into a lather over some misunderstanding with a person i have never met,  and  likely never will.

After a friend dumps you and you apologize, and they still are not willing to talk, well my real life friends say that's just SOS. (Stuck on Stupid) - The End.

So my job sucks, and i have a reprieve from the daily grind since, well, most of my work is in limbo. I manage projects, installing technology products...actually reviewing business need, recommending solutions, negotiating w vendors, obtaining the financing, then implementing the solution, etc, etc. Only thing is, with the economy so bad, all my projects came to a stop as business fell off....and they are waiting until something says its going to be OK again. Problem is in california, who knows. High unemployment, a state that is probably going to be in a budget crisis (again) in a few months...well, I have been looking for maybe a place to go work, in or out of California...Honey could care, only works part time now anyway. We would have to sell or rent the house, which means likely renting it out, since the value is half what it was a couple of years ago.

Try to find something to smile about everyday, I do

 

Not just any youths...

HeraldSun (Australia)

(Photo is labelled Marseilles)

Which “young people” are we yet again talking about?

About 40 rioters in a Paris suburb hurled Molotov cocktails at police and firefighters, torched cars and one person fired a handgun during a rampage prompted by the death of a teen pizza deliverer fleeing police… The scenario - the death of a youth with police directly or indirectly involved - mirrors other incidents that have triggered unrest. Tensions between young people and police have long simmered in housing projects in France’s suburbs, feeding on poverty, unemployment and anger over discrimination against minorities.

This AP copy in the Sydney Morning Herald won’t give a clue to the ethnic makeup of the rioters, although it does note at the end that four years ago there was a riot by “young Arab and black men”.

Radio France, though, gives one hint that it’s the same story all over again:

French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux called for calm on Monday after Yacou Sanago, an 18-year-old boy, died when he hit a metal barrier when trying to flee a police cordon...

The problem with this kind of non-reporting is that it so easily permits the illectually dishonest to heap all the responsibility for this anarchic violence on the French state, by leading reporters (in this case) to then say that such violence is “feeding on poverty, unemployment and anger over discrimination against minorities”.

If we actually - and accurately - note that this violence tends to come from one particular religious minority, we might then better see that there is potentially another influence feeding not just the violence, but the poverty and unemployability, too.

If you're the President of the United States, shouldn't you act like it?

"...but don't do a lot of talking" Did the president just violate the first amendment? It sure sounds like. I sure as HELL didn't create this mess, and I am NOT getting out of the way and well, not going to shut up either. So everyone who disagrees with Obama's healthcare plan and his way of doing business (setting false deadlines) ... is someone who created "the mess"? Obama needs to apologize to the American people for these statements. Seriously. Yes I'm very serious. He needs to apologize. What's next? Should we start gassing Conservatives, veterans and the other undesirables? This man is sounding like a Marxist dictator...well, a lot like Castro or Hugo Chavez...and it's the cheering zombies in this video clip that put him into power. I don't even recognize this country anymore.

This says it all

 It's perfectly fine for Code Pink and other lib groups to protest the war outside of VA hospitals and solider funerals, but a bunch of angry retired people speaking out at a meeting is un-american. Real Americans are pissed at the tens of TRILLIONS of dollars being pissed away.

Call for We The People March on Washington

"They perceive only what they can see, but not what is happening, and what will happen. That is why their carping criticisms generally focus on laughable trivialities. Whenever some unavoidable difficulty pops up, the kind of thing that always happens, they are immediately inclined to doubt everything and to throw the baby out with the bath water. To them difficulties are not there to be mastered, but rather to be surrendered to."

Could be today, right? Maybe a Democrat talking about a Republican perhaps? NO. it was Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda in 1939, seventy years ago.

Then on my way home in the car today I hear the White House is asking citizens to turn in anyone putting out "fishy" information about the Health care bill, or i guess anything else,  and immediately thought of history repeating itself...

What do our representatives think?

 "If you get an e-mail from your neighbor and it doesn't sound right, send it to the White House?"said Sen. John Barasso, R-Wyo. " People, I think all across America are going to say is this 1984? What is happening here? Is big brother watching?"

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, charged the White House with compiling an "enemies list."In a letter to the president, Cornyn urged Obama to provide Congress with more details on what the White House plans to do with anyone reported for "fishy"speech.

Here, read the thing for yourself...

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/

The be a good citizen and turn in your friends and neighbors for spreading "fishy" information...

Honey wanted to send Obama his medals from VietNam  and say he don't want them any more, the country he fought for is gone...I got him to hold off until we see how the next elections turn out....in 2010
